However, from what you describe and your symptoms, it seems to me it truly might be CPTSD.I'm very sorry to hear you're currently unable to see a therapist. Do you think using one of the online therapy options would be possible for you?
I have looked into online therapy, and have found a few small things that are helpful, but there are a lot of roadblocks. I'm unable to schedule appointments, even online, because the situation would only get worse if my family found out. I am able to do my own research on emotional abuse and C-PTSD, and I'm able to talk to a couple people about the situation, but even that's risky because my parents tend to monitor just about anything I do. I'm also unable to drive due to disability and don't have a job, meaning that I'm just about entirely dependent on my parents and can't really do much offline either.
